I don’t see it working. After getting Rakell, I would imagine they will try and give him an extension. A Matheson, Myers pair would look pretty sick, but he makes too much for them. I could see them trading for a defence man, as I think Letang may leave, but I don’t see how a trade with Vancouver would work. Vancouver has a lot of expensive players, and Pittsburgh, like many teams, don’t have a lot of cap.

The framework is interesting, but Zucker has been pretty solid for Pittsburgh this year, not sure its worth taking on a more expensive anchor in Myers

maybe change it up a bit to PIT i don't think that convinces PIT to trade Marino, and VAN should not trade for Zucker

Boeser
Myers (1.6 Mil retained)

For

Marino
Pick or Player

Pens decline. Pens aren’t trading Marino for any of Vancouvers forwards. Probably would do like a Pettersson for Garland deal. Maybe Garland and Myers 2 million retained for Pettersson and Zucker. If you want to get out of that bad contract sooner. But I doubt the pens would still want to do that. They would much prefer to re-sign Letang.
